tv Breakfast BBC News July 12, 2022 6:00am-8:59am BST
6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with nina warhurst and sally nugent. our headlines today. nominations for the conservative leadership are officially open — mps have until the end of today to secure the backing of at least 20 of their colleagues. the olympic gold medallist sir mo farah reveals he was trafficked to the uk as a child, and forced to work as a servant. from how you travel to the airport, to insurance and your first serving of tapas — the cost of holiday extras has risen dramatically. the first picture from the most powerful telescope ever launched into space has revealed a glimpse almost to the edge of the universe.
6:01 am
good morning. almost to the edge of the universe. in sport, shattering records as they dismantle norway — an 8—0 victory has the lionesses roaring into the quarter finals of the euros. you cannot be serious! that ball was on the line! chalk flew up! and his persona lit up the �*70s and �*80s with exceptional play and the occasional angry outburst — we hear from tennis legend john mcenroe as he reflects on his life and career. it may be cooler and cloudier for some today but the heatwave is ongoing in the south—east. temperatures will rise further this weekend, the met office have issued an extreme heat warning. i will have all the details later. it's tuesday 12th july. our main story. conservative mps hoping to become the next party leader — and prime minister — have until this evening to muster enough support to officiallyjoin the contest. they need at least 20 backers, under rules set out by the 1922
6:02 am
committee of tory backbenchers. 11 candidates have so far put themselves forward, with the winner set to be announced in just over seven weeks�* time. our political correspondent ione wells explains. it's nearly time for the summer holidays — mps go off on their break at the end of next week — so time is of the essence in the tory leadership contest. as a result, the rules announced yesterday mean all candidates will need at least 20 backers by the end of today to put forward an official nomination. the chair of the committee that governs tory leadership contests denied this would discriminate against lesser—known candidates. what we tried to do is find a balance where we're making sure the parliamentary stages are concluded reasonably rapidly before the summer recess. but we do believe we can have that proper discussion within the party. obviously, we know our parliamentary candidates already. we do need to make sure there's a decent period of time before the result is announced
6:03 am
on the 5th of september. mps will get their first vote on the list of nominees tomorrow. hopefuls will need at least 30 votes to get through to the next round. the idea is this will whittle down the list of candidates more quickly to a final two. then it's tory party members who will get the final say on those two. the result of that will be announced on the 5th of september, meaning that's when there will be a new tory leader — and a new prime minister in place in number 10. for all candidates, the campaign is heating up — with divisions over issues like tax cuts and net—zero policies already emerging. rishi sunak, tom tugendhat and penny mordaunt already had 20 backers in place yesterday night. we'll know tonight how many have crossed the threshold. but it's tomorrow that the real contest begins. ione wells, bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now from westminster.
6:04 am
good morning. 11 candidates so far. we head ione talking about tomorrow but how quickly will the number be whittled down today? i but how quickly will the number be whittled down today?— but how quickly will the number be whittled down today? i think by the close of play _ whittled down today? i think by the close of play tomorrow _ whittled down today? i think by the close of play tomorrow it _ whittled down today? i think by the close of play tomorrow it will - whittled down today? i think by the close of play tomorrow it will have l close of play tomorrow it will have been whittled down quite significantly. i am looking at my tally and as ione was saying there are only three candidates who have officially got over that 20 backers which would put them on the ballot tomorrow but there are a few who are just under it. i have been speaking to some of the campaigns this morning and they think they will get over the line onto that ballot with 20 mp5 over the line onto that ballot with 20 mps backing them, but hard to get 30. by the time we get to the end of events tomorrow i think that will have whittled down a fair bit and we will be looking at maybe six or seven people left in the race. women translate rishi _ seven people left in the race. women translate rishi sunak _ seven people left in the race. women translate rishi sunak is _ seven people left in the race. women translate rishi sunak is currently - translate rishi sunak is currently the front runner indeed, in terms of mps here. there was a poll yesterday of tory members, just one, but it
6:05 am
suggested that penny mordaunt, another of the candidates was suggested that penny mordaunt, another of the candidates- suggested that penny mordaunt, another of the candidates was a fair bit ahead of— another of the candidates was a fair bit ahead of rishi _ another of the candidates was a fair bit ahead of rishi sunak— another of the candidates was a fair bit ahead of rishi sunak when - another of the candidates was a fair bit ahead of rishi sunak when it - bit ahead of rishi sunak when it came to backers against the membership. rishi sunak was third. in terms of mps is quite a head just now. we will get his launch this morning. quite a big moment because he will be setting out his stall, exactly what he wants to deliver if he gets the keys to number ten —— the keys to number 10. it will be a defence of his economic record, saying to people that he wants to govern with honesty and responsibility, not telling them fairy tales about how quickly he can bring tax down and how you can continue spending if that tax rate comes down. he will say he wants to bring taxes down, he just wants to get inflation under control first and bring down... surrey, and grow the economy before he does that. big moment there. also watch out for liz
6:06 am
truss, the foreign secretary. no official launch from her today but i am expecting some pretty big names to come out in favour of her. her team are arguing quite strongly at the moment that if the right of the conservative party is going to have a chance of winning or delivering the new prime minister then it needs to get behind one candidate. no prizes for guessing they want that to be liz truss.— prizes for guessing they want that to be liz truss. keep that notebook hand ! to be liz truss. keep that notebook handy! thank— to be liz truss. keep that notebook handy! thank you. _ we'll be speaking to the chancellor and candidate nadhim zahawi at 7:30. the met office has issued a weather warning for extreme heat across parts of the uk this weekend, as temperatures are expected to reach in excess of 35 degrees celsius. the rare amber alert covers much of england and wales and is expected to last into early next week, as tim muffett reports. in bigbury in south devon, the big question — how best to stay cool? ice pops. ice pops are good. yeah. shut your windows. yeah.
6:07 am
keep them open in the morning when it's cool. and as soon as the temperature starts to rise, we shut our windows, keep them like that until it's a bit cooler. even if it's, like, 10:00 at night, then open them. wrapping an ice pack. in a towel and putting it on your feet when you're in bed, or a frozen hot—water bottle. - tips that could prove useful. yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far in wales — it almost reached 29 degrees celsius in cardiff. in aboyne, in aberdeenshire, it hit 27.5 degrees. and in armagh in northern ireland, just over 2a degrees. in northolt in west london, temperatures hit 32 degrees celsius — just below the 32.7 degrees recorded in suffolk onjune the 17th, which remains the hottest day of the year so far in england. the highest temperature ever recorded in the uk is 38.7 degrees celsius — that was in cambridge injuly 2019.
6:08 am
now, experts don't think temperatures will get quite that high over the next few days, but the met office has issued an extreme weather warning for sunday. the rare amber alert applies to most of england and parts of wales. it's designed as a clear warning about the potential impact on transport and health. heat causes about 2,000 excess deaths every year. and so when we get these alerts, we really do want people to modify their behaviour so that they look out for each other, they look out for the most vulnerable — which includes both young people and older people, and also those that have existing long—term conditions. i work from home and not got air conditioning and i guess, yeah, i'm just thinking how i'm going to get work done. for me, like, i love it, although it's a bit humid, but i think we should enjoy it and celebrate it because we don't get it often. you're from canada. what do you make of our obsession with the weather?
6:09 am
well, i've lived here 20 years and i have to say i don't understand it myself because when it's hot, people complain and when it rains, people complain. it's like, when are we going to be ok with the weather in england? uplifting for some, exhausting for others. for most of us, the days ahead will remain hot. tim muffett, bbc news. a private funeral will be held today in tokyo forjapan's former prime minister shinzo abe — who was assassinated at a political rally on friday. the 67—year—old was shot from behind during an appearance in the southern city of nara. what can we expect from today? i am standin: what can we expect from today? i am standing outside _ what can we expect from today? i —.n standing outside the temple where his funeral has been taking place. you can probably see a large crowd behind me. thousands of people,
6:10 am
members of the japanese public gathering, many bringing flowers to pay tribute but also all waiting for his body to come out of the temple because it has been reported his body will be taken to many places of memory, places where he spent many years, notjust as the prime minister but also as a politician in places like parliament, the prime minister's official evidence, someone before it is cremated. mariko, from the funeral in tokyo, many thanks. the first full—colour image taken by the most powerful telescope to be launched into space has been revealed, showing a field of many thousands of galaxies in stunning detail. the picture, taken by the newjames webb space telescope, was unveiled by us presidentjoe biden at a white house presentation. it shows what is believed to be the deepest and most detailed view of the universe yet. rebecca morelle reports. a deeper view of our universe than we've ever seen before. this is the first full—colour image
6:11 am
from the james webb space telescope, and it shows a cluster of thousands of galaxies — including some which are among the oldest ever captured. the image was shown to the president of the united states. we're looking back more than 13 billion years. light travels at 186,000 miles per second. and that light that you are seeing on one of those little specks has been travelling for over 13 billion years. and, by the way, we're going back further — because this is just the first image. the telescope blasted off last year on christmas day — a collaboration between the american, european and canadian space agencies — and over the last six months it's been getting ready for its mission, unfolding its huge sunshield, which is the size of a tennis court,
6:12 am
and aligning the segments of its 6.5—metre—wide golden mirror — the largest ever sent into space. the hope is it will answer some of our biggest questions — revealing how stars are born, and how they die, and showing us other planetary systems to see whether life could exist on worlds beyond our own. this spectacular image is just the start. more pictures will be released in the coming hours. our view of the universe is about to be transformed. rebecca morelle, bbc news. just incredible. and we will speak to brian cox later.— to brian cox later. talking about everything _ to brian cox later. talking about everything we — to brian cox later. talking about everything we can _ to brian cox later. talking about everything we can see. - to brian cox later. talking about everything we can see. and - to brian cox later. talking about everything we can see. and if i to brian cox later. talking about - everything we can see. and if anyone can exlain everything we can see. and if anyone can exniain it — everything we can see. and if anyone can explain it well, _ everything we can see. and if anyone can explain it well, it _ everything we can see. and if anyone can explain it well, it is _ everything we can see. and if anyone can explain it well, it is brian - can explain it well, it is brian cox. the man who wrote the theme tune for the james bond films, monty norman, has died at the age of 94. music: james bond theme. he wrote the score for the first bond movie, dr no, starring

6:14 am
the sas were hunting the taliban. but we have found some uk units were out of control. panorama obtained military reports that show people were repeatedly shot dead after surrendering to the sas. in report after report, special forces claimed they sent a detainee back into the building to help with the search. the detainee was then shot after supposedly grabbing a weapon. military insiders say the sas accounts are implausible. special forces routinely search and restrain detainees, so they shouldn't be able to get hold of weapons. impossible. if the person was so negligent, you'd be getting rid of the special forces guy. you'd be saying, "you allowed someone to grab a grenade
6:15 am
behind the curtain. you don't deserve to be in the special forces. you could have got everybody killed." so to see it time and again, how does that make you feel? it's... it's clearly an orchestrated campaign of murders. panorama looked in detail at one sas tour. we identified 5a suspicious killings injust six months — incidents that looked like murders and executions. the evidence suggests sas executions went on for three years. i think allegations of the kind that you're making are incredibly shocking. and if they are true, then they would make me deeply sad and also deeply angry. the british ministry of defence says extensive investigations into the conduct of uk forces in afghanistan found insufficient evidence to bring charges, and that military police
6:16 am
will consider any allegations should new evidence come to light. but some believe it is time to look again at the behaviour of sas death squads that arrived in the night. richard bilton, bbc news. we will be talking to richard later in the programme about that story. let's take a look at today's papers. and a number of front pages feature the tory leadership race. the daily mail carries the headline — "back me or it'll be rishi". it says the foreign secretary, liz truss, has warned the tory right that it risks "handing rishi sunak the keys to number 10" if it fails to unite behind her. the mirror, along with the mail and many other papers, refers to an interview with the athlete sir mo farah, who told a bbc documentary that he was illegally smuggled to britain as a child and made to work as a servant. the telegraph reports that britain could see its "first ever national
6:17 am
heatwave emergency" this weekend, with temperatures expected to reach up to a0 degrees celsius. 40! the paper says that senior officials held a crisis cobra meeting in downing street yesterday, and that schools, travel, and health services are all expected to be impacted. and one of the most—read stories on the bbc news home page this morning features the james webb space telescope. the article carries an image thought to be the deepest, most detailed infrared view of the universe to date. it doesn't quite look real, looks like a painting. but that is really it. �* ., , like a painting. but that is really it. ., , , ., . it. and potentially showing which clusters might — it. and potentially showing which clusters might have _ it. and potentially showing which clusters might have water - it. and potentially showing which clusters might have water and i clusters might have water and whether life could be formed, is a very exciting. inside the papers, i have pulled this out from the times.

6:21 am
while ago, the holiday itself and flight have gone up but a whole load of extras have also gone up and it is with people bearing that in mind before they go away this summer. we have done some research with icelolly.com. they run travel supermarkets have data across millions of searches over the summer holiday. over the next couple of weeks things have gone up dramatically. if we look at the single trip travel insurance, that is 40% in june single trip travel insurance, that is 40% injune compared tojune 2019. airport parking last month was up 2019. airport parking last month was up 30%. it is those little extras that you are potentially not thinking of. up to about £13.70 per night on average, although some airports guiding considerably more than that. the big one this year is car hire. it is more than double on average, going up from £222 per week on average to nearly £500 a week. it is really worth thinking about in advance. couple of countries top of the bill for that. ireland,

6:23 am
average airport parking prices last month were up almost 30%, compared to june 2019. but it's car hire that's seen the biggest increase, with rates more than doubling from £222 a week to nearly £500 a week — with the biggest rises in ireland, italy and portugal. the pound has dropped in value, too, so we're getting a little less euros or dollars for our cash. great, thanks very much. just like at home, inflation is spiking across much of the world, and that means that the prices on the menus are increasing. at this cafe in benidorm, ashley is facing much higher costs, but trying desperately to keep his prices fixed. many of our plates of food, we've not put the prices up, because after such a couple of difficult years in the tourism industry, we're a bit too worried to put the prices up and to scare away the potential customers that
6:24 am
we're hoping to gain. so instead, we're taking the hit. if we only put 50 cents on the price of a plate of food, but if you eat out every day and you've got three children, you know, that increases a lot. but i do still think that people are willing to pay it — after the couple of years that we've had, people are desperate for a holiday. karen writes a blog about travelling with children, and has lots of advice to try and keep costs down. i always look at booking my car hire straight away. i always look at booking my car parking at the airport straight away. these costs only ever go up before the holiday, and they tend to be the things that people forget to do untiljust before. i always take the hugest picnic on earth when we're going on a flight, and i think that's a brilliant idea at the moment, because you cannot, in my experience, buy food in the airport for love nor money. but i think if you can do as much as you can to manage your basic costs that you can work out what they're going to be, so that you're not surprised by those, then you've got a starting chance.
6:25 am
with so many disappointments over recent years, it's tempting to max out the credit card on holiday. but with rising costs once you get back home, keeping the reins on holiday spending will be more difficult, but more important than ever this year. i guess at the moment it is tricky to put a bit aside and think, i've got some headroom coming up to the summer but important to think about doing. summer but important to think about doint. , summer but important to think about doin. _ , , ., . summer but important to think about doint. , , . , summer but important to think about doinr . , , ., . . , , , doing. yes, research recently by the post office says _ doing. yes, research recently by the post office says about _ doing. yes, research recently by the post office says about 6096 - doing. yes, research recently by the post office says about 6096 of i doing. yes, research recently by the | post office says about 6096 of people post office says about 60% of people have overspent on their summer holidays already. it is so easy to do. this is not the winter to be trying to pay off credit card debt from the sun or a loan to pay off your summer holidays, when we get into the autumn and winter and anotherfuel bills will into the autumn and winter and another fuel bills will go up, food bills will go up. this summer it is really important to budget. heavy

but i also see the impact and know that it helps other people as well. a look at the tube board now. bakerloo line is part suspended between elephant & castle and lambeth north after a signalfailure. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. already too hot for some and the heatwave is just set to continue as we head through the rest of this week. today's temperatures very similar to yesterday's and then we start to see some cooler feeling air. a dip in temperature from wednesday, a bit more in the way of cloud cover all courtesy of a cold front but no rain on this. temperatures will still stay well above the average for this time of year as we head through the rest of the working week. and there could be another spike as we head into next weekend potentially so do keep an eye on the forecast. last night, uncomfortable for sleeping. it was a very warm start to the day, temperatures didn't drop below the high teens for most of us last night. there are some sunny spells out there, there will be a bit more cloud today and that high cloud will turn the sunshine hazy at times. temperatures peaking in the low 30s.
6:30 am
the uv levels and the pollen levels are both high. overnight tonight, again, temperatures won't drop below the high teens. that will be at the very coolest point of the night as we head into the first part of the day tomorrow. temperatures dipping tomorrow, as you can see, a bit more in the way of cloud. as we head into next weekend, they could get even higher than this. there's lots of ideas on how to keep cool on the bbc weather website. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. borisjohnson's successor will be announced on 5th september. 11 candidates have put themselves forward so far and conservative mps will start the process of voting for a new leader from tomorrow. we'rejoined now by tim montgomerie, founder of conservative home and also by katy balls, deputy political editor at the spectator. good morning to you both. if i could come to you first come a couple of days since we spoke to you here, and

6:34 am
seems to be a mood in the parliamentary conservative party at the moment for change, something very different, hence the support we are seeing the people like kemi badenoch and penny mordaunt. i wonder whether that is the right approach from the parliamentary party. you have only got to look at events in sri lanka to realise that the world is about to go through some really tricky times. inflation is only beginning to bite on many economies. i would is only beginning to bite on many economies. iwould personally is only beginning to bite on many economies. i would personally prefer an experienced hand on the nation's government at the top of the government at the top of the government at the top of the government at this time. it looks at the moment as though the parliamentary party is just wanting almost a complete change and are willing to roll the dice to get that. that wouldn't be my personal preference and.— preference and. what are your thou t hts preference and. what are your thoughts on — preference and. what are your thoughts on that, _ preference and. what are your thoughts on that, katie, i preference and. what are your thoughts on that, katie, is i preference and. what are your thoughts on that, katie, is it l preference and. what are your i thoughts on that, katie, is it worth rolling the dice, when you think about the reputation of the current prime minister, is a clean slate

party conduct itself is important, when it gets too personal and too nasty, that will not reflect well on the conservative party. we have got all the problems the country faces that the conservative party will be judged on, they will also bejudged on basic courtesy. people will say, if they treat each other like this, how will they treat us? and so the conservative party has to be very mindful of that as well. with mindful of that as well. with reputation — mindful of that as well. with reputation in _ mindful of that as well. with reputation in mind, - mindful of that as well. with reputation in mind, is- mindful of that as well. with reputation in mind, is borisjohnson doing the right thing, hanging around until september? personally, i think it would _ around until september? personally, i think it would have _ around until september? personally, i think it would have been _ around until september? personally, i think it would have been better- around until september? personally, i think it would have been better if. i think it would have been better if he had gone. someone like dominic robert the deputy prime minister could have then taken over. —— dominic raab. the talk of boris johnson would probably have to be pulled out of downing street screaming, i think that had some truth to it. maybe this is the delicate compromise, allowing him to carry on as caretaker prime minister until a successor, permanent successor is found. it until a successor, permanent successor is found.— until a successor, permanent successor is found. it feels like a lont wa successor is found. it feels like a long way off. _ successor is found. it feels like a long way off, doesn't _ successor is found. it feels like a

6:40 am
it was a must win for northern ireland against austria to stand any chance of progressng. natalie pirks was watching. two—time winners, norway, were supposed to provide a stern test, but when ellen white felt the slightest of contact... penalty! georgia stanway soon settled any nerves. norway had no time to clear their heads. such was england's hustle. it was soon time for another. the offside flag was up, but var knew better. they were just getting started. when ellen white poached the ball from the hapless thorisdottir, england's third goal was imminent. white to make it three, and she does! you couldn't take your eyes off this. neither did beth mead. it's mead, oh, its four! and she wasn't done. just look at this solo run. still going, oh, its sensational! the england fans who braved broken down trains were treated to a sensational six. it's six!
6:41 am
on the south coast, norway were all at sea. and in the second half, their defence continued to melt like butter in the heat. alessia russo! and when mead turned hat trick heroine, england became record breakers. and the rebound goes in! and beth mead does have a hattrick! eight for the a—team. she loves it when a plan comes together. i don't think i even dreamt of this, but i'm just so happy i can get the goals again to help the team. unbelievable night, i can't believe it. one of the biggest criticisms of women's football is that matches can be one sided, but norway have some of the best players in the world and they didn't get a sniff. england's players won't get carried away, but the fans, they already are. norway are probably the best team in our group and to go and win 8—0 against them, we stand a very strong chance of winning the whole tournament. ijust couldn't believe it was goal after goal. every time they entered the box it was in, you could guarantee it. earlier, though, northern ireland's
6:42 am
plan was unravelling. a dominant performance saw austria wrap up a 2—0 win. that ended the dreams of the green and white army. they face a swaggering england on friday. natalie pirks, bbc news, brighton. and it's ellen white who is now one short of wayne rooney's all time england goal—scoring record, her tally stands at 52. the former derby manager is about to take his next step in management. he's heading back to the states after agreeing to become the head coach of major league soccer side dc united, where he previously spent 18 months as a player. england's women have beaten south africa by five wickets in their first one—day international, to go 3—2 up in their multi—format series. they were set a target of 219 to win at northampton and they made short work of it. emma lamb impressed as she scored her first international one—day century. england knocked off the winning runs with more than 17 overs to spare. the second one—day international
6:43 am
is at bristol on friday. and sir mo farah has revealed that he was trafficked to the uk illegally as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant. the four—time olympic champion has told the bbc how he was actually born hussein abdi kahin and was only given the name mohammed farah by those who flew him over with fake documents from djibouti. he previously said he came to the uk from somalia with his parents as a refugee. it's part of a documentary airing tomorrow night on bbc one. most people know me as mo farah, but it's not my name or it's not the reality. the real story is i was born in somaliland, north of somalia as hussein abdi kahin. despite what i've said in the past, my parents never lived in the uk. when i was four, my dad was killed in a civil war.
6:44 am
you know, as a family, we were torn apart. i was separated from my mother and i was brought into the uk illegally under the name of another child called mohammed farah. this is the visa document? yeah. this is the visa to come to the uk and this was the document we came with. you would have been nine, you hadn't turned ten yet. yeah. that is my photo but it's not my name. from that moment coming in, a different name and different identity. i know i've taking someone else's place, but... and i do wonder, what is mohammed doing now?

concerned, that will be more of a problem if we have a long dry summer. we are keeping up with demand, there are two parts to water supplies, having raw product in the ground and keeping up with customer demand. we are seeing particularly in the kent region as the temperatures climb, demands are going to high levels. higher than we have ever seen before. the problem is being able to physically pump the water into the system fast enough to keep up with customer demands. so the play is for customers to think really carefully about their water use, don't use the hose towards the garden, just essential use only for the next week or so while this really hot period is on to enable us we can keep up with demand and make sure everyone stays with water. you never really — sure everyone stays with water. you never really think about the demand, people drawing on the water at the same time. are there any concerns in the long outlook? if same time. are there any concerns in the long outlook?— the long outlook? if the summer remains dry. _ the long outlook? if the summer remains dry. at _ the long outlook? if the summer remains dry, at the _ the long outlook? if the summer remains dry, at the moment - the long outlook? if the summer remains dry, at the moment we | the long outlook? if the summer. remains dry, at the moment we are starting to see concerning levels on

6:49 am
pushing down across scotland and northern ireland. introducing cooler conditions and a bit of rain and drizzle. we are starting to see some rain break out further south across north and west wales, north—west england, rain and drizzle here. a few splashes of rain further south across wales and into the midlands. northern scotland will brighten up, a breezy day, temperatures across areas in the high teens. not as hot compared to yesterday in wales and northern scotland but the south—east could still see 33 celsius with spells of hazy sunshine later. a lot more cloud compared to the blue skies we saw yesterday. another very warm night tonight across the south and east, 20 degrees, more comfortable further north. many will have a dry night, a few spots of rain heading towards northern counties. much more comfortable in
6:50 am
northern parts. the forecast for wednesday sees cloud across southern counties, the chance of the odd shower, most will be dry. generally speaking a massive cloud across scotland and northern ireland, breezy in the north—west. —— a bit of cloud across scotland. could still be up to 28 or 29 in the south—east tomorrow. the hot weather continues here into thursday but elsewhere most places will be fairly comfortable. sunshine and showers to the north and west, most will be dry and sunny. as we go through the end of the week and into the weekend, the met office have issued an extreme heat warning across a good part of england and eastern wales, it is here where the back end of the weekend into the start of next week weekend into the start of next week we could see temperatures widely hit the high 30s, mid to high 30s. that is exceptionalfor the the high 30s, mid to high 30s. that is exceptional for the time of year, it could have a major impact to health and infrastructure. back to you now.
6:51 am
i'm to be a bit careful with the weather, thank you. —— it is time to be a bit careful. in the 1970s and i980s john mcenroe was one of the biggest names in tennis. he won wimbledon three times and seven grand slam titles overall but was equally well—known for his on—court tantrums. ahead of the release of a film about his life, he's been talking to our correspondent laura scott about his struggles on and off the court. you have to develop an edge to be great at something. i had that. and then, boom. there's something clearly wrong. you doing yourjob, umpire? you're pathetic! how much bigger a point can you screw it up with? couldn't you see anything?! from new york, john mcenroe. how do you sum up your tennis career? oh, boy, that's a tough one. sum it up, you know, i'd like to think i gave it my all as often as possible. that to me is the key
6:52 am
thing in any sport, you want to give your best effort. it was exciting. i would talk about my tennis career, unpredictable at times. i just want to know two things. number one, he did not even question that call. he questioned the call on the baseline. number two, she called the ball in. numberthree, nothing happens for 20 seconds. why all of a sudden would he decide to call it out? how did you find the process of making the film? the process is tough for me. how much do you really want to reveal about yourself? what should be in the film? what isn't in the film? to what extent should it be about when i was playing at wimbledon, and what extent should it be about sort of the journey through life? i think that it's important for people to see that mental health, for example, obviously has come more to the forefront with naomi osaka speaking out last year at the french open. but, you know, i grew up in a time when it was like toughing it out. you know, boys don't cry, you know, that type of stuff. and i think we've come a long
6:53 am
way in a positive way. we just have to be careful we don't go too far the other way. we all have that fear of failure. it's like how you deal with it. there's a moment in the film where you say, "i'm the greatest player that's ever played at this point, why does it not feel that amazing ? " there did seem to be a void where it just felt like i was living in this bubble and not maturing as a human being and trying to experience things that others would and that i should. do you wish more was known and understood about mental health when you were a player? yeah, of course. i've seen plenty of sports psychologists. sometimes it was court—ordered, in difficulties with my ex—wife, and other times voluntary. it did feel a bit overwhelming, but i'm not, you know, i wasn't the type of person, like, if some sports psychologists... were you on the centre court at wimbledon? because otherwise i'm not quite sure what it feels like. so i'm sort of, i hate to say it, i was a little cynical about that. so that probably didn't help.

obviously there's a lot in the film about your behaviour on the court. you cannot be serious! that ball was on the line! do you regret that behavior? for the most part, if i look at my the bigger picture, i would say i'm proud of most of what i did. but there are certainly times where i'm like, oh, my god, i didn't need to do that. and it only exacerbated the situation. it made more people get mad at me or start booing me. so it wasn't like it helped me. but, you know, believe it or not, i got along with most umpires, off the court! can you explain that trigger point in your head? it seems like that might be similar to some of the things we see from nick kyrgios. i think there could be some similarities in that way. your anxiety, your feeling, you want to live up to the hype, the hope you have, that people think this is going to be an incredible match. i mean, that's an amazing feeling, but you're a little bit uptight about it.
6:55 am
i think you said in commentary that nick kyrgios's behaviour was embarrassing. the pot calling the kettle black, right? yeah, of course. well, some of mine was embarrassing, but am i supposed to not say when his is? if you go out and don't try, that's embarrassing for our sport. for the most part he tried, which is great. what did you make of djokovic�*s performance? i think he was amazing. part of what's made him so great is his will and, "i'm sticking to my beliefs". so, you know, he's chosen not to get vaccinated and that's complicated things for him. you're talking about a guy that's throwing away opportunities. you talk about egg on your face. he sits there and gets thrown out of australia and then rafa wins it. you could make an argument for each one of those. it depends who you like more in a way, really. it would be very difficult to say, like, all in all, who's the greatest player? i don't think you can say that. do you ever wish, when you look at these players playing now that you could play against them, that you were playing today? oh, of course. i mean, you always want to see how you'd stack up. you know, something tells me it
6:56 am
wouldn't be that amazing, but if i played them ten times, i'd like to think i could beat them two or three. and just lastly, in the film, your wife said, "people think they know him, but they don't". is she right, do you think? i think she's right. i mean, i'm not, you know, ithink what you see is what you get. but i'd like to think there's a little bit more to me than meets the eye. she also said the favourite line in the entire documentary to me, she said, "you know, i married a bad boy who turned into a good man". you always do whatever it takes to win at any cost. to mcenroe! is it all worth it? definitely! he is good, isn't he? you just said he is your favourite commentator. he you just said he is your favourite commentator.— you just said he is your favourite commentator. he is my favourite sorts commentator. he is my favourite sports commentator, _ commentator. he is my favourite | sports commentator, completely. commentator. he is my favourite l sports commentator, completely. i think he is top of his game, absolutely brilliant. great

interview there. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. fans of american rapper nicki minaj have been left disappointed after a meet and greet event at cafe koko in camden had to be cancelled when she was mobbed by fans. the rapper posted on instagram that she'd be at the venue which led to fans arriving from the morning. by the time minaj arrived in the evening police had to form a wall around her to escort her in. lambeth council is being accused of an "abuse of power" after it issued over £20 million of low—traffic neighbourhood fines in just one year. campaigners belonging to onelambeth criticised the council for issuing fines of £120 each, reduced to 65 if paid within a fortnight. low—traffic neighbourhoods have proved highly controversial
6:58 am
after many appeared during lockdown, pushing traffic onto already busy roads. lambeth council says ltns "reduce road danger" for people who live near them. the creator of a unique fashion brand which was started in islington is looking to adapt her clothes for more people with disabilities and illnesses. victoria jenkins makes tweaks to fashionable clothing so people with special needs can wear them. it might be for someone receiving chemotherapy, a wheelchair user or someone who needs a drip into their arm. the idea came from victoria's own experience. i hadn't even realised how much i was struggling with clothing myself, because adaptive fashion didn't occur to me even as i was going through surgeries and on my ownjourney with disability. so everything is size—inclusive, literally any size that people need, we can make. if people need customisations, like if amputees need different leg or arm lengths. the whole range really, you know, i'm quite proud of it because i know it helps me, but i also see the impact and know that it helps other people as well. a look at the tube board now.
6:59 am
now the weather with elizabeth. hello, good morning. already too hot for some and the heatwave is just set to continue as we head through the rest of this week. today's temperatures very similar to yesterday's and then we start to see some cooler feeling air. a dip in temperature from wednesday, a bit more in the way of cloud cover all courtesy of a cold front but no rain on this. temperatures will still stay well above the average for this time of year as we head through the rest of the working week. and there could be another spike as we head into next weekend potentially so do keep an eye on the forecast. last night, uncomfortable for sleeping. it was a very warm start to the day, temperatures didn't drop below the high teens for most of us last night. there are some sunny spells out there, there will be a bit more cloud today and that high cloud will turn the sunshine hazy at times. temperatures peaking in the low 30s.
7:00 am
the uv levels and the pollen levels are both high. overnight tonight, again, temperatures won't drop below the high teens. that will be at the very coolest point of the night as we head into the first part of the day tomorrow. temperatures dipping tomorrow, as you can see, a bit more in the way of cloud. as we head into next weekend, they could get even higher than this. there's lots of ideas on how to keep cool on the bbc weather website. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.
7:01 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and nina warhurst. our headlines today... nominations for the conservative leadership are officially open — mps have until the end of today to secure the backing of at least 20 of their colleagues. the funeral of the former japanese prime minister, shinzo abe, who was assassinated last week, is underway in tokyo. the olympic gold medallist sir mo farah reveals he was trafficked to the uk as a child, and forced to work as a servant. the first picture from the most powerful telescope ever launched into space has revealed a glimpse almost to the edge of the universe. good morning. in sport, shattering records — how an 8—0 victory over norway sees the lionesses roar into the quarter finals of the euros. it the quarter finals of the euros. is a bit cloudier for but
7:02 am
it is a bit cloudier for many today but the heatwave continues in the south—east of england and this weekend gets even hotter. the met office have issued an extreme heat warning. i will have all the details right here. it's tuesday 12th july. our main story. the next conservative leader and uk prime minister will be announced on 5th september. let's take a look at what will happen between now and then. 11 candidates have come forward so far. they each have until this evening to secure the support of 20 fellow tory mps, allowing them to officiallyjoin the contest. the chair of the 1922 committee denied that increasing the number of hackers to 20 would discriminate against lesser—known candidates. what we tried to do is find a balance where we're making sure the parliamentary stages are concluded reasonably rapidly before the summer recess. but we do believe we can have that proper discussion within the party. obviously, we know our parliamentary candidates already. we do need to make sure there's a decent period of time before
7:03 am
the result is announced on the 5th of september. tomorrow, the first round of voting will take place among conservative mps. candidates with fewer than 30 votes must withdraw. the second round of voting is likely to take place on thursday and then the final round, if required, will be on monday. tory mps will whittle the field down to two final candidates before the end of next week. around 160,000 party members will then vote in a postal ballot for the next leader, who will be announced on 5th september. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now from westminster. 11 candidates at the moment but not for long. 11 candidates at the moment but not for lonu. ., ., ., ., for long. yeah, good morning. there will be a lot — for long. yeah, good morning. there will be a lot of— for long. yeah, good morning. there will be a lot of voting _ for long. yeah, good morning. there will be a lot of voting over— for long. yeah, good morning. there will be a lot of voting over the - will be a lot of voting over the next few days. i have been counting some of the numbers this morning and speaking to some of the leadership hopefuls and a lot of them actually seem quite confident that they will
7:04 am
get over the first hurdle today and get over the first hurdle today and get the 20 backers get over the first hurdle today and get the 20 hackers to get them onto the ballot paper tomorrow. we might lose a couple, some of the people down the bottom like rehman chishti, maybe grant shapps. the other seem to be fairly confident that they can get the 20. but then tomorrow there is that other hurdle that will be a bit harder, which is getting 30 backers bit harder, which is getting 30 hackers to get you through that first ballot. and then it will all be whittled down and the basic reason is the conservative party really wants to get this into a place where by late next week they are down to two candidates so they can put that tutorial members over the summer. can put that tutorial members over the summer-— can put that tutorial members over the summer. with text being one of the summer. with text being one of the ma'or the summer. with text being one of the major issues _ the summer. with text being one of the major issues of _ the summer. with text being one of the major issues of the _ the summer. with text being one of the major issues of the campaign, l the major issues of the campaign, does the four mitch evans let rishi sunak remain the front running? ihe sunak remain the front running? he is sunak remain the front running? he: is the frontrunner here —— mapped chancellor. there is debate about how popular he is with conservative members. some attacks on him from

iam i am looking forward to speaking with professor brian cox about that later on. the met office has issued a weather warning for extreme heat across parts of the uk this weekend, as temperatures are expected to reach in excess of 35 degrees celsius. the rare amber alert covers much of england and wales and is expected to last into early next week, as tim muffett reports. in bigbury in south devon, the big question — how best to stay cool? ice pops. ice pops are good. yeah. shut your windows. yeah. keep them open in the morning when it's cool. and as soon as the temperature starts to rise, we shut our windows, keep them like that until it's a bit cooler. even if it's, like, 10:00 at night, then open them. wrapping an ice pack. in a towel and putting it on your feet when you're in bed, or a frozen hot—water bottle. - tips that could prove useful.
7:15 am
yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far in wales — it almost reached 29 degrees celsius in cardiff. in aboyne, in aberdeenshire, it hit 27.5 degrees. and in armagh in northern ireland, just over 2a degrees. in northolt in west london, temperatures hit 32 degrees celsius — just below the 32.7 degrees recorded in suffolk onjune the 17th, which remains the hottest day of the year so far in england. the highest temperature ever recorded in the uk is 38.7 degrees celsius — that was in cambridge injuly 2019. now, experts don't think temperatures will get quite that high over the next few days, but the met office has issued an extreme weather warning for sunday. the rare amber alert applies to most of england and parts of wales. it's designed as a clear warning about the potential impact
7:16 am
on transport and health. heat causes about 2,000 excess deaths every year. and so when we get these alerts, we really do want people to modify their behaviour so that they look out for each other, they look out for the most vulnerable — which includes both young people and older people, and also those that have existing long—term conditions. i work from home and i've not got air conditioning and i guess, yeah, i'm just thinking how i'm going to get work done. for me, like, i love it, although it's a bit humid, but i think we should enjoy it and celebrate it because we don't get it often. you're from canada. what do you make about our obsession with the weather? well, i've lived here 20 years and i have to say i don't understand it myself because when it's hot, people complain and when it rains, people complain. it's like, when are we going to be ok with the weather in england? uplifting for some, exhausting for others. for most of us, the days ahead will remain hot. tim muffett, bbc news.

7:24 am
almost 100,000 households. 6.5 million pieces counted so it presents an astonishing picture of what is just passing through our homes in that one week. so if we assume that the average thrown away by households across the country is typical of everyone, then we would be throwing away 1.85 billion pieces per week, almost 100 billion per year. only 12% of that would end up being recycled, so recycling has applied to plate but it is never going to be the star of the show. the government and industry really have to stop pretending this is the silver bullet and focus on reduction targets. silver bullet and focus on reduction tart ets. ~ , silver bullet and focus on reduction taraets. ~ , . silver bullet and focus on reduction taraets. ~ , , :, , ' , silver bullet and focus on reduction taraets.~ , , :, y' ,. : targets. why is it only 12%? are we wastin: all targets. why is it only 12%? are we wasting all of _ targets. why is it only 12%? are we wasting all of our _ targets. why is it only 12%? are we wasting all of our time _ targets. why is it only 12%? are we wasting all of our time putting - targets. why is it only 12%? are we wasting all of our time putting the | wasting all of our time putting the plastic in the bin? tt wasting all of our time putting the plastic in the bin?— wasting all of our time putting the plastic in the bin? if you think how much is passing — plastic in the bin? if you think how much is passing through _ plastic in the bin? if you think how much is passing through our- plastic in the bin? if you think how l much is passing through our homes, it isjust much is passing through our homes, it is just unsustainable. recycling is never going to be a solution to

receiving chemotherapy, a wheelchair user or someone who needs a drip into their arm. the idea came from victoria's own experience. i hadn't even realised how much i was struggling with clothing myself, because adaptive fashion didn't occur to me even as i was going through surgeries and on my ownjourney with disability. so everything is size—inclusive, literally any size that people need, we can make. if people need customisations, like if amputees need different leg or arm lengths. the whole range really, you know, i'm quite proud of it because i know it helps me, but i also see the impact and know that it helps other people as well. a look at the tube board now. bakerloo line is part suspended after a signalfailure. and delays on the metropolitan line due to a fire alert at wembley park. now the weather with elizabeth. hello, good morning. already too hot for some and the heatwave is just set to continue as we head through the rest of this week. today's temperatures very similar to yesterday's and then we start to see some cooler feeling air.
7:31 am
a dip in temperature from wednesday, a bit more in the way of cloud all courtesy of a cold front but no rain on this. temperatures will still stay well above the average for this time of year as we head through the rest of the working week. and there could be another spike as we head into next weekend potentially so do keep an eye on the forecast. last night, uncomfortable for sleeping. it was a very warm start to the day, temperatures didn't drop below the high teens for most of us last night. there are some sunny spells out there, there will be a bit more cloud today and that high cloud will turn the sunshine hazy at times. temperatures peaking in the low 30s. the uv levels and the pollen levels are both high. overnight tonight, again, temperatures won't drop below the high teens. that will be at the very coolest point of the night as we head into the first part of the day tomorrow. temperatures dipping tomorrow, as you can see, a bit more in the way of cloud. as we head into next weekend, they could get even higher than this. there's lots of ideas on how to keep cool on the bbc weather website. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour.

7:33 am
income tax cut to next year. 19p, the year after 18p, we will reverse the year after 18p, we will reverse the corporation tax, the 25% corporation tax back to where it is today to help businesses small and large. of course, i will also reduce the cost of energy bills, because we know that there is a spike in energy bills because of putin and his illegal war in ukraine, and of course holding us to ransom with his gas prices and oil. the weight we are going to do that, i will pause vat and green levies on energy bills, and increase spending on defence, so 2.5% by 2025 rather than the end of the decade, and then i want to work with business to reduce the eu bureaucracy, that burden, the financial services bill is already on track to be launched and that
7:34 am
will take awake the legacy eu regulations on the city and financial services, regulations on the city and financialservices, not regulations on the city and financial services, notjust regulations on the city and financial services, not just the city of london, that's 2.2 million people, 175,000 in london but the rest are in scotland and other parts of the country. they businesses will see that, we will invest in free ports, i will review the partnership levy on business. and finally put more criminals behind bars. the police do a greatjob catching criminals, violent crime and cyber crime is a big thing. the infrastructure behind that, our courts are creaking, we need to make sure that we unlock that pipeline and get more criminals behind bars including paying criminal barristers properly. that is my five pledges. 0k, properly. that is my five pledges. ok, you have set your stall out quite clearly is a low tax prime minister. a few things to get into. is it responsible to do that under your current role as co—chancellor of the exchequer? the governor of the bank of england doesn't think

7:36 am
last week, that was a really great thing by increasing the threshold. they gave 30 million people their first personal tax cuts in a decade last week, also a great thing. but i want to go much further as prime minister that is my stall for the future, not today. but minister that is my stall for the future, not today.— minister that is my stall for the future, not today. but we all know and the iss _ future, not today. but we all know and the iss have _ future, not today. but we all know and the iss have said, _ future, not today. but we all know and the iss have said, if _ future, not today. but we all know and the iss have said, if you - future, not today. but we all know and the iss have said, if you cut i and the iss have said, if you cut taxes, that as inflationary pressure, people have more money to spend and prices go up even further. one of the things that puts a damper on inflation is cutting the cost of government. one of the exercises i had to do as secretary of state for education for the prime minister and the chancellor is look at the headcount in the departments of education, other secretary of state to the same thing, we were tasked to reducing headcount by 20%, it was a tough task, we went through it thoroughly, we went back to number 10. i think it is doable. when i

7:41 am
and i sent him the letter. i published the letter so in my view putting country first is the right thing to do. 50 putting country first is the right thing to do-_ putting country first is the right thing to do. so surely either you knew at the _ thing to do. so surely either you knew at the point _ thing to do. so surely either you knew at the point that _ thing to do. so surely either you i knew at the point that you accepted the job that he was not the right man to run the country and took it in bad faith or you blue with the wind the next day, neither of those are characteristics that people would want in the prime minister. t would want in the prime minister. i didn't, i don't accept that characterisation. when i took the job i took the media around the next morning and explain why i took the job, because it was important. people are hurting, we are in an economic national emergency. for me to walk away and say, i don't want to walk away and say, i don't want to help or make a difference to people's lives, would be irresponsible. i went back to the treasury, sat with my leadership team, began the hard work to get the plan together to be able to launch with the prime minister, alas, by the afternoon, it became obvious to me that that was impossible. i thought we could do it the night
7:42 am
before, it became obvious it was impossible. that's when i went to see him and told him that i think the best thing for him to do was to resign with dignity, and of course, he slept on it and came back the next morning and decided to go. itutti]!!! next morning and decided to go. will ou come next morning and decided to go. will you come to regret that casey session with borisjohnson? no —— association with borisjohnson? h0. association with boris johnson? no, i won't, association with boris johnson? no, i won't. because _ association with borisjohnson? tun. iwon't, because he association with borisjohnson? tip. i won't, because he delivered the most successful vaccination programme, saved a millions of lives around the world because our astrazeneca vaccine delivered with no prophet has saved millions of people around the world. that is borisjohnson, he delivered brexit, he got the big calls right. i regret it has happened in the last week, it pains me to see what is happening to my party and my pledge is if i am prime minister, i will heal those wounds, bring the party back together. wounds, bring the party back totether. :. wounds, bring the party back totether. :, ,:, wounds, bring the party back totether. :, , :, together. you say you understand that people _ together. you say you understand that people are — together. you say you understand that people are hurting _ together. you say you understand that people are hurting badly - together. you say you understand that people are hurting badly and| that people are hurting badly and that's why you took the job as

7:44 am

7:47 am
so it's really, really tough. all i can say is, i salute mo farah, what an amazing human being to have gone through that trauma in childhood, and to come through it and to be such a great role model is truly inspirational. an exemplary. unimaginable for any child, isn't it? nadhim zahawi, chance of exchequer and prime minister contender, thank you for your time —— chancellor of the exchequer. thank you so much. news of a whopping victory for england — news of a whopping victory for england but not so much for northern ireland? _ england but not so much for northern ireland? tote— england but not so much for northern ireland? ~ . england but not so much for northern ireland? ~ , , :, england but not so much for northern ireland? ~ , y:, :, : , :, ireland? we will bring you a clip of that mo farah _ ireland? we will bring you a clip of that mo farah documentary - ireland? we will bring you a clip of that mo farah documentary in - ireland? we will bring you a clip of that mo farah documentary in a i that mo farah documentary in a moment. but what a night it was for england one's women at the euros. just! i would like to state limping over the line but not at all, storming over the line. 8—0, there was a suggestion it could be a little nervy after the full step at
7:48 am
old trafford, but a record score light last night. northern ireland had to get a victory but are unfortunately out. into the quarter finals, thanks to a record scoreline, the biggest in euros history, striker ellen white just one goal short of wayne rooney's all time england record. last night's performance memorable to say the least. where do we start, they were 6—0 up by half time. the in—form beth mead scored a hat—trick on their way to breaking the record for either a men's or women's european championship match by putting eight past norway. and ellen white got two, to take her to 52 goals for her country, as the lionesses qualify for the knockout stages as group winners with a game to spare. i can't put into words, honestly, i'm just loving being here, loving being part of this team, and enjoying every minute. i don't think i even dreamt of this, but i'm just so happy i can get the goals again to help the team. unbelievable night, i can't believe it.
7:49 am
england's victory and northern ireland's defeat to austria means kenny shiels' side are out. they lost 2—0 in brighton, their second coming right at the end of the match. the majority of the northern irish side are part—time. this was the first time they'd qualified for a major tournament in their history. when you look at where we were, when we came in, we have reached this level too soon. because there is no way we can transform a team in two years the way we have done, and take it further than that just immediately. there's lots of developmental stuff that we need to do with the players. and sir mo farah says he wanted to open up and tell the story of how he was trafficked illegally to the uk as a child, so his children know the truth. we have been reflecting on that this morning. he has opened up on things we never knew about him. we think
7:50 am
about him as the track superstar, olympic success. he's always said he came here as a refugee with his parents. but in a documentary aired tomorrow night he's revealed things we never knew about the track superstar, that he was taken from his family home, brought here illegally on fake papers, given the name mohamed farah and forced into slavery. and he was forced to watch the phone numbers? he and he was forced to watch the phone numbers? : . and he was forced to watch the phone numbers? :. ::, :,: numbers? he came here with contact numbers? he came here with contact numbers on — numbers? he came here with contact numbers on a — numbers? he came here with contact numbers on a piece _ numbers? he came here with contact numbers on a piece of— numbers? he came here with contact numbers on a piece of paper - numbers? he came here with contact numbers on a piece of paper of - numbers? he came here with contact numbers on a piece of paper of his i numbers on a piece of paper of his family back home, and then when they were ripped up in front of him he realised this was not what it was going to be. realised this was not what it was going to be— going to be. you look at those hotos going to be. you look at those photos and — going to be. you look at those photos and you _ going to be. you look at those photos and you think, - going to be. you look at those photos and you think, he - going to be. you look at those photos and you think, he was| photos and you think, he was carrying all of those traumas from childhood? . . carrying all of those traumas from childhood? :, , ,:, :, , childhood? that is something he has had to open — childhood? that is something he has had to open up _ childhood? that is something he has had to open up about. _ childhood? that is something he has had to open up about. he _ childhood? that is something he has had to open up about. he felt - childhood? that is something he has had to open up about. he felt he - had to open up about. he felt he needed to be truthful for the sake of his children because he wants to teach them honesty and the idea behind it. here's a clip from the documentary on bbc one tomorrow night. most people know me as mo farah, but it's not my name or it's not the reality.
7:51 am
the real story is i was born in somaliland, north of somalia as hussein abdi kahin. despite what i've said in the past, my parents never lived in the uk. when i was four, my dad was killed in a civil war. you know, as a family, we were torn apart. i was separated from my mother and i was brought into the uk illegally under the name of another child called mohammed farah. this is the visa document? this yeah. this is the visa to come to the uk and this was the document we came with. you would have been nine, you hadn't turned ten yet. yeah. that is my photo but it's not my name. from that moment coming in, a different name and different identity.

8:02 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with sally nugent and nina warhurst. our headlines today. nominations for the conservative leadership are officially open — mps have until the end of today to secure the backing of at least 20 of their colleagues. the olympic gold medallist sir mo farah reveals he was trafficked to the uk as a child, and forced to work as a servant.
8:03 am
from how you travel to the airport, to insurance and your first serving of tapas — the cost of holiday extras has risen dramatically. the first picture from the most powerful telescope ever launched into space has revealed a glimpse almost to the edge of the universe. good morning. in sport, shattering records — an 8—0 victory, the biggest in tournament history, has the lionesses roaring into the quarterfinals of the euros. you cannot be serious! that ball was on the line! chalk flew up! and his personality lit up the '70s and '80s with exceptional play and the occasional angry outburst — tennis legend john mcenroe reflects on his life and career. it may be cloudier and cooler for some today but the heatwave continues in south—east england and by this weekend in the heat notches up by this weekend in the heat notches up a gear. all the details here on
8:04 am
breakfast. it's tuesday 12th july. our main story. the next conservative leader and uk prime minister will be announced on 5th september — let's take a look at what will happen between now and then. 11 candidates have come forward so far. they each have until this evening to secure the support of 20 fellow tory mps, allowing them them to officiallyjoin the contest. the chair of the 1922 committee denied that increasing the number of hackers to 20 would discriminate against lesser known candidates. what we tried to do is find a balance where we're making sure the parliamentary stages are concluded reasonably rapidly before the summer recess. but we do believe we can have that proper discussion within the party. obviously, we know our parliamentary candidates already. we do need to make sure there's a decent period of time before the result is announced on the 5th of september. tomorrow, the first round of voting will take place
8:05 am
among conservative mps. candidates with fewer than 30 votes must withdraw. the second round of voting is likely to take place on thursday and then the final round, if required, will be on monday. tory mps will whittle the field down to two final candidates before the end of next week. around 160,000 party members will then vote in a postal ballot for the next leader, who will be announced on 5th september. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now from westminster. good morning. definitely a busy few days for everybody there. 11 candidates so far. former chancellor rishi sunak is currently the frontrunner? t rishi sunak is currently the frontrunner?— rishi sunak is currently the frontrunner? ~ . .
8:07 am
until you have lost money, you have no idea how hard it is. we are hearing about labour tabling a vote of no confidence. thei;t we are hearing about labour tabling a vote of no confidence.— a vote of no confidence. they are today and — a vote of no confidence. they are today and that — a vote of no confidence. they are today and that the _ a vote of no confidence. they are today and that the vote _ a vote of no confidence. they are today and that the vote could - a vote of no confidence. they are today and that the vote could be | today and that the vote could be tomorrow. i don't think it will pass, i think conservative mps are very unlikely to back it, it would just be opposition mps, so that basically means it gives labour a chance to say, look, they wanted borisjohnson out of office but they are prepared to keep him in place over the summer but it will not bring down the government, it will not remove borisjohnson from office immediately. meanwhile, all the people who want to replace him are going to be out today. we have had jeremy hunt and rishi sunak both leaving their homes already this
8:08 am
morning, they will be trying to shore up the numbers. probably only going to lose a couple of candidates, maybe grant shapps and rehman chishti might not make that 20 threshold. that they debate about tax will continue with rishi sunak�*s official launch later this morning. thank you very much. sir mo farah has revealed he was trafficked to the uk as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant. the four—time olympic champion says he was taken from his home in somaliland, aged nine, and flown to the uk by a woman he had never met. john's here with more details. this incredible revelation. astonishing, and really a story about the mo farah we know, the track superstar, the huge success he had with london 2012, double olympic gold, followed that up after london in rio four years later, double gold
8:09 am
again. numerous track titles on the world stage, as well. but for all this time he has been living with some very deep truths that only now he has revealed and that was the way he has revealed and that was the way he was trafficked to this country as a nine—year—old, taken from his family farm. he thought he was coming here to stay with relatives, that was not the case. a woman brought him over illegally on fake documents and that was when he was given the name mohammed farah. you can see him as a child and he has revealed his real name is hussein abdi kahin. this is all going to be part of a documentary being shown on bbc one tomorrow night but he says having lived with this life for so long, he feels now is the time to reveal his real history —— living with this lie, because he wants his children to know and he thinks honesty is very important. it is a story about identity and facing up

8:19 am
first thing we think about is our patients and we put ourselves at the risks of our families next because for me personally we are called to responsibility to look after those patients that we are unable to look after and it is really, our dedication, our bravery of our nhs staff and social care staff that they have shown throughout the pandemic is well and truly recognised and i have said this morning it isjust like going into war but we didn't know who we were fighting for and we didn't have anything to fight them against. if you can imagine the horror and fear and the risks that everyone has taken in the name of looking after our patients, it is huge. this award isjust our patients, it is huge. this award is just really truly well deserved by all of the nhs and social care staff. i couldn't... by all of the nhs and social care staff. icouldn't... i by all of the nhs and social care staff. i couldn't... i did to say they are very deserving of this award for all the things we have

8:22 am
we are joined now by professor brian cox. good morning, thank you for it talking to us this morning. we have the image. what can you tell us about what it means, what can you see that maybe we can't? the about what it means, what can you see that maybe we can't?- see that maybe we can't? the first thin to see that maybe we can't? the first thing to say _ see that maybe we can't? the first thing to say is _ see that maybe we can't? the first thing to say is this _ see that maybe we can't? the first thing to say is this is _ see that maybe we can't? the first thing to say is this is a _ see that maybe we can't? the first thing to say is this is a piece - see that maybe we can't? the first thing to say is this is a piece of - thing to say is this is a piece of sky you would cover if you took a grain of sand and held it at arms length so think about that. it is the tiniest piece of sky. as you said, there are thousands of galaxies is a in this image. virtually every one, that smudges or spiral shapes in this image, is a galaxy of perhaps 100 billion, it may be up to 1 trillion stars. what you are looking at here is a galaxy cluster, so in the intermediate range, halfway, if you went out to
8:23 am
the edge of the observable universe, there is a big galaxy cluster. it took the light from those beautiful galaxies you can see, 4.6 billion is done years to reach us. the light from the relatively near galaxy to us began its journey before the earth had one. in the distance you can see the strange rx, the distorted images —— strange arcs and the light from those has taken over 13 billion years to reach us, so what you are seeing here are galaxies in the far distance as they were just after they formed very close to the big bang.— were just after they formed very close to the big bang. being able to see them a bit _ close to the big bang. being able to see them a bit more _ close to the big bang. being able to see them a bit more clearly, - close to the big bang. being able to see them a bit more clearly, a - close to the big bang. being able to see them a bit more clearly, a lot i see them a bit more clearly, a lot more clearly, to see their existence at all, why does that matter, what does that tell us?— at all, why does that matter, what does that tell us? what we can see here is that — does that tell us? what we can see here is that it _ does that tell us? what we can see here is that it is _ does that tell us? what we can see here is that it is very _ does that tell us? what we can see here is that it is very close - does that tell us? what we can see here is that it is very close to - does that tell us? what we can see here is that it is very close to the i here is that it is very close to the beginning of time. some of the biggest questions we have in astronomy are how the first stars
8:24 am
and galaxies formed. because here we are seeing the light that has journeyed for over 13 billion years to reach us, that means you are seeing images of galaxies 13 billion years ago, so what we are doing here is it is almost like a time machine, you are looking back into the far distant past and so we can begin to answer those questions, just how did the first galaxies and stars form? the hope with this telescope is we see almost in real time, as it were, a history of the universe playing out. imagine, to be able to see the formation of the first stars. infill]! formation of the first stars. will there come _ formation of the first stars. will there come a — formation of the first stars. will there come a point where we have a clear understanding of what the big bang actually was, how it came about? ~ :, , bang actually was, how it came about? ~ :,, bang actually was, how it came about? ~ :, , :, about? well, i hope so. i mean, we have also got _ about? well, i hope so. i mean, we have also got research _ about? well, i hope so. i mean, we have also got research into - about? well, i hope so. i mean, we have also got research into black. have also got research into black holes, for example, which is telling us about the nature of space and time themselves, but actually those distortions you see, if you look at
8:25 am
the image, those distortions are at distortions in the fabric of the universe, so what you are seeing is a distorted space and distorted time because of the immense mass of these thousands of galaxies. and so we are beginning... well, for the last hundreds of years or so, we have been getting deeper insight into what space and time actually are, which i think we need to answer if we want to understand the origin of the universe. this we want to understand the origin of the universe-— the universe. this is not the only imate we the universe. this is not the only image we will — the universe. this is not the only image we will see, _ the universe. this is not the only image we will see, is _ the universe. this is not the only image we will see, is it? - the universe. this is not the only image we will see, is it? we - the universe. this is not the only image we will see, is it? we are | image we will see, is it? we are expecting to see more images soon. the most exciting for me, i think that's these images will be released later today. there is a planet called wasp 96b, over 1000 light—years away, it is a bit smaller thanjupiter, and the telescope will be able to analyse the atmosphere of that planet so we will get an observation, whether it
8:26 am
has water in its atmosphere, and as time goes on in the telescope looks at more of these, the golden scenario... we have no idea, but imagine we saw hints of oxygen in the atmosphere of one of these planets. that may tell us there is life there. this is the most exciting telescope because it may tell us whether we are alone, it is telling us a lot more about the early universe and how stars and galaxies, it is an incredible leap forward. . . . galaxies, it is an incredible leap forward. :, , :, , galaxies, it is an incredible leap forward. :, , , ., galaxies, it is an incredible leap forward. :, , , :, forward. that is a big question lots of --eole forward. that is a big question lots of people want _ forward. that is a big question lots of people want the _ forward. that is a big question lots of people want the answer - forward. that is a big question lots of people want the answer to, - of people want the answer to, whether there is life out there. you are heading out on tour. to a certain extent you a job, and the captivation for the audience, it is all about the questions. would you be slightly disappointed if they were all answered? . t be slightly disappointed if they were all answered?— be slightly disappointed if they were all answered? , i think we have no chance! — were all answered? , i think we have no chance! not _ were all answered? , i think we have no chance! not in _ were all answered? , i think we have no chance! not in our— were all answered? , i think we have no chance! not in our lifetime. - were all answered? , i think we have no chance! not in our lifetime. in - were all answered? , i think we have no chance! not in our lifetime. in a l no chance! not in our lifetime. in a cou-le of no chance! not in our lifetime. in a couple of weeks — no chance! not in our lifetime. in a couple of weeks i _ no chance! not in our lifetime. in a couple of weeks i will _ no chance! not in our lifetime. in a couple of weeks i will be _ no chance! not in our lifetime. in a couple of weeks i will be able - no chance! not in our lifetime. in a couple of weeks i will be able to i couple of weeks i will be able to change the show now because this image is by far the deepest image of

8:28 am
dr xand explains why it's also costing them their health. - right now only 9% of men and 16% of women who retire are fit and healthy and many end up stopping work with conditions like arthritis, dementia and diabetes. i'll tell you the small changes you can make now that can help prevent them, including taking up tai chi like my dad. also today over half of the uk have them in their homes, _ but with fears smart speakers i could be spying on their owners, a top consumer expert tells us the "safe" word that can help. protect your data. plus, we're talking about grief. it's something everyone will face at some point in their life, but for the 100 children who lose a parent every single day, it can be hard to know where to turn. we find out how one cafe in bolton is helping them cope by encouraging also on the show, as it's getting hot our gardener mark lane's. getting ready to pot! he's out on the balcony to tell us why it's the perfect time - to get planting and how to protect your- seedlings from the sun. that was a strong wave this morning!

in the evening, police had to form a wall around her to escort her in. lambeth council is being accused of an "abuse of power" after it issued over £20 million of low—traffic neighbourhood fines in just one year. campaigners belonging to onelambeth criticised the council for issuing fines of £120 each, reduced to 65 if paid within a fortnight. low traffic neighbourhoods have proved highly controversial after many appeared during lockdown pushing traffic onto already busy roads. lambeth council says ltns "reduce road danger" for people who live near them. the creator of a unique fashion brand which was started in islington is looking to adapt her clothes for more people with disabilities and illnesses. victoria jenkins makes tweaks to fashionable clothing so people with special needs can wear them. it might be for someone who needs a drip into their arm,
8:31 am
someone receiving chemotherapy or a wheelchair user. the idea came from victoria's own experience. i hadn't even realised how much i was struggling with clothing myself, because adaptive fashion didn't occur to me even as i was going through surgeries and on my ownjourney with disability. so everything is size—inclusive, literally any size that people need, we can make. if people need customisations, like if amputees need different leg or arm lengths. the whole range really, you know, i'm quite proud of it because i know it helps me, but i also see the impact and know that it helps other people as well. a look at the tube board now. bakerloo line is part suspended after a signalfailure. and delays on the metropolitan line due to a fire alert at wembley park. now the weather with elizabeth. hello, good morning. already too hot for some and the heatwave is just set to continue as we head through the rest of this week. today's temperatures very similar to yesterday's and then we start to see some cooler feeling air.
8:32 am
a dip in temperature from wednesday, a bit more in the way of cloud all courtesy of a cold front but no rain on this. temperatures will still stay well above the average for this time of year as we head through the rest of the working week. and there could be another spike as we head into next weekend potentially so do keep an eye on the forecast. last night, uncomfortable for sleeping. it was a very warm start to the day, temperatures didn't drop below the high teens for most of us last night. there are some sunny spells out there, there will be a bit more cloud today and that high cloud will turn the sunshine hazy at times. temperatures peaking in the low 30s. the uv levels and the pollen levels are both high. overnight tonight, again, temperatures won't drop below the high teens. that will be at the very coolest point of the night as we head into the first part of the day tomorrow. temperatures dipping tomorrow, as you can see, a bit more in the way of cloud. as we head into next weekend, they could get even higher than this. there's lots of ideas on how to keep cool on the bbc weather website. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

were out of control. panorama obtained military reports that show people were repeatedly shot dead after surrendering to the sas. in report after report, special forces claimed they sent a detainee back into the building to help with the search. the detainee was then shot after supposedly grabbing a weapon. military insiders say the sas accounts are implausible. special forces routinely search and restrain detainees, so they shouldn't be able to get hold of weapons. impossible. if the person was so negligent, you'd be getting rid of the special forces guy. you'd be saying, "you allowed someone to grab a grenade behind the curtain. you don't deserve to be in the special forces. you could have got everybody killed." so to see it time and again, how does that make you feel? it's... it's clearly an orchestrated
8:35 am
campaign of murders. panorama looked in detail at one sas tour. we identified 54 suspicious killings injust six months — incidents that looked like murders and executions. the evidence suggests sas executions went on for three years. i think allegations of the kind that you're making are incredibly shocking. and if they are true, then they would make me deeply sad and also deeply angry. the british ministry of defence says extensive investigations into the conduct of uk forces in afghanistan found insufficient evidence to bring charges, and that military police will consider any allegations should new evidence come to light. but some believe it is time to look again at the behaviour of sas death
8:36 am
squads that arrived in the night. richard bilton, bbc news. we're joined now by panorama reporter richard bilton. good reporter richard bilton. morning, richard. are you to good morning, richard. are you able to suggest who might be to blame for what actually happened? tt’s to suggest who might be to blame for what actually happened?— what actually happened? it's hard. i don't think it _ what actually happened? it's hard. i don't think it was _ what actually happened? it's hard. i don't think it was a _ what actually happened? it's hard. i don't think it was a rogue _ what actually happened? it's hard. i don't think it was a rogue unit, - don't think it was a rogue unit, though. what we saw in the evidence was much more like a prolonged pattern. we will show in the programme is like that there were e—mails between people on the ground and special forces headquarters e—mails between people on the ground and specialforces headquarters back in london who were saying, things are not going right here. and in fact that sort of cut and paste repeated explanation of a detainee being taken back into a building and killed, the e—mails show that these were starting to just play not to be believed. so i think it was a more systemic problem. the

believed. so i think it was a more systemic problem.— believed. so i think it was a more systemic problem. the mod have put out some fairly _ systemic problem. the mod have put out some fairly robust _ systemic problem. the mod have put out some fairly robust tweets, - systemic problem. the mod have put out some fairly robust tweets, i - out some fairly robust tweets, i have got this one, we believe that the episode of panorama jumps to unjustified conclusions from allegations that have already been fully investigated. where does that leave panorama now? thei;t fully investigated. where does that leave panorama now?— fully investigated. where does that leave panorama now? they have pushed back tuite leave panorama now? they have pushed back quite hard- — leave panorama now? they have pushed back quite hard. the _ leave panorama now? they have pushed back quite hard. the primary _ back quite hard. the primary investigation into what happened in afghanistan was operation northmore. we have insiders from northmore on our programme tonight who say they were stopped from getting to the truth, they could not talk to senior officers or look at the drone footage of raids and we have also spoken to lots of military insiders who were concerned about what they saw. so they were helping us, people helped us from the inside. so we consider what we have got with our witnesses, the documents and then what we have found on the ground, means that we have found a compelling case. i would say to your
8:38 am
viewers, what your —— our programme and make your own mind up. teeth? viewers, what your -- our programme and make your own mind up.- and make your own mind up. why did ou to to and make your own mind up. why did you go to afghanistan _ and make your own mind up. why did you go to afghanistan and _ and make your own mind up. why did you go to afghanistan and were - and make your own mind up. why did you go to afghanistan and were you i you go to afghanistan and were you able to investigate if the taliban were in charge when you were there? we had a talent and my debt but we chose when we went, and what we did and wherever we filmed, there were no taliban —— we had a taliban minder. but wherever we filmed, we did not have anyone from the telephone with us. this was the only way to get to witnesses and see seems our sale which is what our viewers would expect us to do. these are places where no british investigators have been, so it was difficult working there but it was the right thing to do.— the right thing to do. thank you very much. _ the right thing to do. thank you very much, richard. _ panorama: sas death squads exposed: a british war crime? is on bbc one at 9pm tonight. coming up to 20 to nine. johnjoins
8:39 am
us from the sports and a look back on last night. yes, a statement of intent from england last night. into the quarterfinals of the england euros with a game to spare. if you think about the buzz that was created by tournament football, the lioness is doing that, playing with brighton last night, so much good feeling wherever they go at the moment. will that continue? it will grow if it goes towards the final. a real indicator of england's belief and the host's intent to win the euros for the first time with that record—breaking victory over norway last night — 8—0, the score. a record for either a men's or women's european championship match. they were 6—0 up by half time. the in—form beth mead with a hat—trick, this the pick of her goals. ellen white got two, to take her to 52 goals for her country, to leave her one short of wayne rooney's all—time record, as the lionesses qualify for the knockout stages as group winners with a game to spare.
8:40 am
england's victory and northern ireland's defeat to austria means kenny shiels' side are out. they lost 2—0 in brighton, their second coming right at the end of the match. the majority of the northern irish side are part—time — this was the first time they'd qualified for a major tournament in their history. and sir mo farah says he wanted to open up and tell the story of how he was trafficked illegally to the uk as a child, so his children know the truth. he says he feels like now is the time he wants to open up, he wants to be honest and he wants his children to know what happened to him. we think about him as the international track star, those international track star, those international medals but the reality is very different to what he first growing up when he was taken from his family farm at the age of eight, trafficked to the uk. he was given a
8:41 am
different name, mohammed farah. he was taken to the uk and told to look after children from another family, he thought he was going to be visiting the elephants but he realised he was in trouble and he was —— visiting his relatives. but he was trafficked into slavery. most people know me as mo farah, but it's not my name or it's not the reality. the real story is i was born in somaliland, north of somalia as hussein abdi kahin. despite what i've said in the past, my parents never lived in the uk. when i was four, my dad was killed in a civil war. you know, as a family, we were torn apart. i was separated from my mother and i was brought into the uk illegally under the name of another
8:42 am
child called mohammed farah. this is the visa document? yeah. this is the visa to come to the uk and this was the document we came with. you would have been nine, you hadn't turned ten yet. yeah. that is my photo but it's not my name. from that moment coming in, a different name and different identity. i know i've taken someone else's place, but... and i do wonder, what is mohammed doing now? as you would, wouldn't you? when you have been given a completely different name and you see a name on those documents, you think, where is this person now? i guess it is a story about identity and coming to terms with what you faced growing up. it isjust in stark terms with what you faced growing up. it is just in stark contrast to the person that we know now. you can
8:43 am
see her running became his saviour. yeah, and that is something that comes out in the documentary. the way that as he grew up and got older, he was not allowed initially to go to school but when he did, it was at that point he confided in people closer to him, a pe teacher is who he confided in, how he came to the uk, and then he was adopted by anotherfamily and to the uk, and then he was adopted by another family and things started to change for him and that is when his track career took off and he flourished. he has had to live with these lies about how he grew up and where he came from, how he came here. a life of slavery in those early days, when he arrived in the uk is, all of those difficulties that he wanted. now it is all coming up. that he wanted. now it is all coming u . _ ., ~' that he wanted. now it is all coming un. :, " , :,

8:46 am
more cloud around and for one or two people will be cooler. starting on a warm note, 21 degrees at 7am, a ridiculously warm start to a july morning. we had the mavericks of rain overnight in scotland and in western england and wales. they will drift south, a lot more cloud around so temperature is not as high for some of you. when the sunshine comes out later, temperatures hear temperatures in the mid to high teens. what a contrast with the south—east, more hazy sunshine to come. the heatwave continues here. this evening and overnight, after the daytime temperatures like that, the daytime temperatures like that, the south and east of the country will be another difficult night to get some sleet in. no lower than 20 degrees in some places, for the north and west it will be more comfortable, temperatures in single

figures in some places. wednesday sees a bit more sunshine around, the biggest exception in southern counties of england. cloud here to start the day and the chance of a few splashes of rain, not a huge amount, many will stay dry. staying hot in the south—east corner but a good deal comfortable in england and wales. a mixture of sunshine and showers to take you through wednesday and temperatures in the low teens —— high teens or low 20s. the breeze to ease in scotland next week, sunshine and —— thursday, sunshine and showers, cooler in the south—east but we could still see temperatures getting to 2728. as we go into the weekend, the heat is set to build again. the met office have issued an extreme heat warning for much of england, a good part of east wales, through sunday and more especially into monday. we could see
8:48 am
temperatures peak in the mid or high 30s, potentially record—breaking. with that comes the risk to health, and to infrastructure as well. that's something we will be monitoring over the next few days. for the time being, i have worked hard enough, time for me to have a bit of relaxation stop time to take it away, roger. enjoy your day, see you tomorrow from 6am. t am it away, roger. enjoy your day, see you tomorrow from 6am.— it away, roger. enjoy your day, see you tomorrow from 6am. i am so glad ou ave you tomorrow from 6am. i am so glad you gave roger _ you tomorrow from 6am. i am so glad you gave roger a _ you tomorrow from 6am. i am so glad you gave roger a name _ you tomorrow from 6am. i am so glad you gave roger a name check, - you tomorrow from 6am. i am so glad you gave roger a name check, he - you gave roger a name check, he stayed there patiently the whole time behind you in the weather forecast. he time behind you in the weather forecast. . . . . time behind you in the weather forecast. :, , , , ., forecast. he has been primed and read . forecast. he has been primed and ready- roger _ forecast. he has been primed and ready. roger moore, _ forecast. he has been primed and ready. roger moore, james - forecast. he has been primed and| ready. roger moore, james bond, forecast. he has been primed and - ready. roger moore, james bond, very 007! roger. — ready. roger moore, james bond, very 007! roger, looking— ready. roger moore, james bond, very 007! roger, looking very _ ready. roger moore, james bond, very 007! roger, looking very smooth! - 007! roger, looking very smooth! laughter you are as well, matt! sorry to leave you out! just slightly out of shot there.
